PACKING, PREFORMED

This solicitation, issued by the Department of Defense Land Supplier Operations Vehicle Support, is for the procurement of 239 units of preformed packing under National Stock Number 5330-01-624-8954. The contract requires delivery within 168 days after the order is placed. Compliance with DLA packaging requirements and technical quality standards is mandatory, with specific mandates for the removal of government identification from non-accepted supplies. The contract strictly prohibits the intentional addition of mercury or mercury-containing compounds to hardware, with limited exceptions for specific functional components like batteries or sensors. Because the items fall under federal supply classifications susceptible to ultraviolet ray deterioration, they must be sealed in medium duty, waterproof, greaseproof, and opaque bags according to MIL-DTL-117 standards. These requirements apply across all delivery methods, including direct vendor delivery and foreign military sales.
